- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 tsp ginger peeled and grated, optional, fresh
- 1 carrot peeled and grated (1/3 cup, medium
- 1 parsnip peeled and grated (1/3 cup, small
- 2 Tbsp coconut optional, unsweetened, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil a muffin pan (you'll only need to oil 7 holes)
- Heat a small pot of water and bring to a full boil. Peel and chop the parsnip and carrot in half. Place in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately strain the water, pat dry, and allow the veggies to cool. When cool enough to handle, grate the veggies using a box grater.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and sea salt (dry mixture).
- Whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, grapeseed oil, fresh ginger, and the grated carrot and parsnip (wet mixture) in a separate mixing bowl.
- Add the wet mixture to the bowl with the dry mixture and mix until well-combined.
- Fill the oiled muffin holes 2/3 full of cake batter and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- Place muffin tray on the center rack of your oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until muffins are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes. Run a butter knife along the perimeter of the muffins to release them from the muffin tray.
Notes
- *You can replace the avocado oil with melted coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or olive oil
